Do Australia passport holders need a visa to visit TG?

Q: Where do I apply for the Togo eVisa?

Through the official Togolese government portal at voyage.gouv.tg. Avoid unofficial third-party sites that charge extra fees.

Q: How much does the Togo tourist eVisa cost?

The standard single-entry visa valid for up to 15 days costs 25,000 CFA francs (about USD 40). Longer stays and multiple-entry options cost more, up to around 65,000 CFA francs.

Q: Is a yellow fever vaccination required for Togo?

Yes. A valid WHO yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for all travelers over one year old, and you will be denied entry without it.

Q: How early should I apply for the eVisa?

At least 5 working days before travel. The portal recommends 6 or more working days and Togo's Ministry of Security advises a 7-day minimum. Late applications incur a surcharge.

Q: How long can I stay in Togo on a tourist eVisa?

The standard tourist eVisa permits a stay of up to 15 days. Longer durations (up to 90 days) are available at higher fees.

Australian passport holders need an eVisa to enter Togo for tourism. It must be applied for online at the official portal (voyage.gouv.tg) and approved before travel; visa-on-arrival was abolished on 12 April 2024. A valid yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for all travelers. As of 2026, Australian ordinary passport holders cannot enter Togo without a visa and can no longer obtain one on arrival. Togo discontinued its "express" visa-on-arrival service on 12 April 2024, replacing it with a mandatory pre-arrival eVisa applied for through the government portal at voyage.gouv.tg. The standard short tourist eVisa is a single-entry document valid for up to 15 days, costing 25,000 CFA francs (about USD 40); longer-duration and multiple-entry options are available at higher prices. Applications must be submitted at least 5 working days before travel (the portal recommends 6+ working days, and Togo's Ministry of Security advises a 7-day minimum); late applications may incur a surcharge. Required documents include a passport valid for at least 3 months beyond the stay with 2 blank pages, a digital photo, the passport bio page scan, accommodation proof, and a return/onward ticket. A WHO yellow fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for all arrivals over one year old, and entry will be refused without it. ECOWAS citizens are visa-exempt, but Australians are not, so the eVisa is required for every Australian tourist.
